  • They are trying to argue semantics to keep sending weapons to israel. They know they are violating international law, but by tacking on these BS investigations they can keep stalling and delivering weapons to israel.

    Israel perpetrating war crimes in plain sight in Gaza, says ex-UK diplomat

    “Anybody who has a kind of basic understanding of these things can see that there are war crimes being committed, not once, not twice, not a few times, but quite flagrantly and openly and regularly.”

    Smith’s exit became public over the weekend after a resignation email was leaked in which he accused senior members of the Israeli government of “open genocidal intent”. In a message that was sent to hundreds of officials and advisers, Smith said there was “no justification for the UK’s continued arms sales to Israel, yet somehow it continues”.

    Smith, who says he previously led a government assessment of the legality of arms sales to different countries, said on Monday he had raised his concerns with the foreign secretary and at “pretty much every level of the organisation”. Asked what response he had been given, he replied: “I resigned because of this issue, so you can put the pieces together. But suffice to say that any response was not satisfactory.”




  • Of course. He is exporting arms to israel which is highly illegal. Nobody would do that voluntarily. Also:

    Israel lobby funded half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet

    Pro-Israel lobbyists have donated to 13 out of Labour’s 25 cabinet members since they were first elected to parliament, Declassified can reveal. The list of recipients includes prime minister Keir Starmer, his deputy Angela Rayner, chancellor Rachel Reeves, foreign secretary David Lammy and home secretary Yvette Cooper.

    Jonathan Reynolds, who will oversee arms exports to Israel as UK trade secretary, is another beneficiary, alongside Labour’s election mastermind Pat McFadden, whose responsibilities now include national security. Some of the donations were provided by Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), a lobby group which takes MPs on “fact-finding” missions to the region.



  • Biden is very much an ideological Zionist. A politician has no problem throwing his Irish roots under the bus Biden in no way represents the good Irish folk,

    Bidens carreer was made by being a corporate ploy and he was always at the forefront of any pro-israel legislation.

    Starmer is very similar. His entire carreer exists becacse he coup’d Jeremy Corbyn for israel.

    I’m not sure how ideologically Starmer is attached to israel, but his political carreer and israel are very much intertwined.

    Nobody is under any illusion that israel isn’t committing Genocide anymore. The politicians pretending the are, are getting paid to close their eyes.






  • Except Corbyn was already growing to a position where he would be able to gain power.

    Starmer can’t coup a left wing party while it has massive momentum and subsequently claim the centrist neoliberal Zionist fest is popular.

    Corbyn even won his own district without the branding Starmer stole from him.

    The UK is facing massive problems with housing, and a neoliberal who is in the pocket of all lobbies including the landlords is going to do absolutely nothing to fix it

    Starmer is aa “human rights lawyer” who prevents an arms embargo on a Genocide. You can’t make this up.
